Answer 2

The recipe when it was given to me was called Morrocan chicken. It is wonderful and simple and doesn't require any measuring of any of the ingredients. Pour some chicken broth ( and dilute with water if you want) into a baking dish. Cover bottom of dish with a layer of thinly sliced onions. Put chicken pieces, meat side down and dot with a little butter (only if you want to) and sprinkle liberally with cumin, thyme, and ginger. Bake at around 350 until that side looks done and turn and add a little more butter ( or not) and more cumin, thyme and ginger. If you are in a hurry, you can broil both sides, or bake the first side and broil the meat and skin side. Of if you family and guests are not ready to eat, just let it keep baking until people are ready. The only downside of this is that the chicken becomes so tender that you have to warm people to be careful of little bones in the meat. Make jasmine or white rice to go with it, put the chicken on the rice, surround with the now cooked onion, taste the "gravy" and take off any obvious chicken fat and pour over if you wish. And if you are feeling like a little more oriental type flavor, cover raisins in a small pot with vermouth ( or water if you have children) and boil until absorbed and the raisins plump up. Sprinkle them over the chicken. Cumin, thyme, and ginger is also delicious on ham, or just on plain broiled chicken.

Answer 3

Try these

For chicken legs or thighs (4 pieces), finely dice 1/4 onion, 1 plum tomato, 5 fresh basil leaves or 1/2 tsp. dried, 3 fresh mint leaves or 1/4 tsp. dried, salt, cracked pepper, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/2 tsp. freshly chopped cilantro, a pinch (1/8 tsp) Cajun pepper, if you like some heat, and 1/4 tsp. of any other fresh or dried herb you like. Let herb mixture sit for at least 20 minutes. Loosen, but do not tear, skin over legs and thighs. Stuff with onion and herb mixture and bake in a 350 oven until done. Lovely!

For breasts of chicken, slice a pocket into the breast and stuff with a mixture of diced red pepper, olives, and herbs of your choice. Wrap the whole breast up in some thinly sliced Prosciutto slices and bake until done. After done, place some slices of Frutanno cheese on top and broil for a minute until cheese is done.

Serve with a simple salad and maybe some steamed asparagus.

Good Luck!

Stir Fried Chicken in Lettuce Cups
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground chicken
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ginger, minced
¼ cup green onion, finely sliced
½ cup mint, finely sliced
1 ½ cups spinach, thinly sliced

1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar
½ teaspoon or to taste chili flakes
To taste salt & pepper
2 Tablespoons butter


Preparation:

Combine chicken, garlic, ginger and green onion prior to cooking. Finely slice mint and spinach and form lettuce cups with bibb or iceberg leaves.

Add the oil into a hot sauté pan. When the oil is almost smoking add the chicken mixture and spread out in the pan. Allow the lamb to brown before stirring. Stir and season with the peri peri spice. Allow the mixture to caramelize; do not over mix. Once the chicken is almost cooked and no longer red add the tomatoes, soy sauce, honey, vinegar and the chili flakes. Mix well; season with salt and pepper. Add ¼ cup mint and 2 tablespoons butter, this will form the sauce.

Place the spinach and remaining mint on lettuce leaves and top with the hot chicken mixture. Roll up lettuce.

Also very good with pork or lamb

Answer 5

Here's a recipe for "Curried Chicken" that I developed after finding a spice blend from Penzeys that I loved. You could also use regular curry powder. The kids LOVED this!

Curried Sate Chicken By: Pamela Lira
Serves 4


2 whole large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, cut in small chunks)
3-4 TBL olive oil

2 TBL Sate seasonings (by Penzey’s spices) or Curry powder
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tsp minced fresh garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
2 cups chicken stock
1-cup white or rose wine (can sub water or applejuice)
Pepper to taste

2 TBL cornstarch
2 TBL cold water
3-4 cups hot cooked rice

Sauté chicken in oil until nearly done. Stir in seasonings and cover 2 minutes to steam in flavor. Add chicken broth and wine and simmer for 15 minutes or until meat cooked and sauce somewhat reduced. Can reduce by ½ and just add more water if desired. Add pepper as needed. Combine cornstarch and water and add to chicken mixture, stirring well to incorporate. Will thicken quickly. Serve over hot rice with a crisp salad for the perfect meal.

Answer 6

i like to stuff chicken breasts with a mix of feta cheese and roasted red peppers. Start with a chicken breast,pound it out so it is almost the same thickness,then make a slit in the side of the breast. Take a red pepper and char the outside.put in a paper bag or a bowl with plastic wrap to cover the hot pepper and let sit for 10 min. Remove the chared skin and the seeds and top.place in the food processor and puree.Add feta cheese and puree until well mixed. spoon mixture into the slit of the chicken breast. Dreg the stuffed breast in seasoned flour and pan fry til cooked. remove breast from the pan and keep warm. place frying pan over medium heat and add a splash of white wine to deglaze the pan and add unwhipped whipping cream and reduce.season with salt and pepper to taste and pour sauce over chicken breast just as you are ready to serve.

Answer 7

Try using Stovetop stuffing mix as breadcrumbs and oven "frying". Put a cup of dry Stovetop stuffing mix in a food processor and blend until it resembles bread crumbs. Then dip a chicken breast in beaten eggs and the Stovetop crumbs and bake on a cookie sheet. To get the fried taste without using as much fat just dot the chicken with tiny bits of butter before baking.

THIS IS SO GOOD!
